Real Madrid agree €35m fee for Flamengo wonderkid Reinier

https://www.goal.com/en-sa/news/real-madrid-agree-35m-fee-for-flamengo-wonderkid-reinier/eapdelkxryyu1m5pxpmegsd4p

Los Blancos beat out several rivals in La Liga for the signature of the highly-rated teenager, who follows in the footsteps of Vinicius Junior

Flamengo attacker Reinier will officially join Real Madrid later this month for a sum worth around €35 million (£29m/$39m), sources close to the situation can confirm.

Los Blancos beat off competition from La Liga rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to land the signature of the highly-rated teenager, who turns 18 later this month on January 19.

Both Madrid and Flamengo will wait until that date in order to announce the deal, which will take the Brazil under-23 star to Spain on an unspecified, though likely lengthy contract.

Looks like Real will continue to buy Brazilians until they find the next Neymar.

Tbf Real have had huge success with Brazilian and other South American nation players in the past. Not everyone is just looking for the next Neymar. Its the next great player in whatever position though but the Neymar comparisons are gonna be about for every Brazilian attacker until Neymar retires.

Robinho was a success there despite how his career panned out and he was well before Neymar's time. Higuain was also a success coming from Argentina. Marcelo has been a success. Di Maria was too. Fernando Redondo, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos... go back far enough and Di Stefano etc. Even more recently Casemiro too. Militao, Valverde, Vinicius and Rodrygo are another few who will go on and forge there own careers at one level or another.

yes, they are obsessed

top ten  21yo and under Brasilians

sorted by age


Reinier    AMF 17   Real Madrid
Rodrygo  RW 18   Real Madrid 

João Pedro  CF 18    Watford  (Real is sniffing around)
Gabriel Martinelli    CF 18   Arsenal (Real is still sniffing around)

Vinícius Júnior    LW 19     Real Madrid   
Antony    RW 19    São Paulo FC (Real is sniffing around)
Tetê    RW  19     Shakhtar Donetsk    
Emerson    RB   20   Real Betis on loan (sort of, it is actual half ownership but Barca has option to outright own) from Barca
Éder Militão   CB    21    Real Madrid   
Renan Lodi   LB   21    Atlético Madrid   

 

they own 4 and are looking at 3 others, lololol

and the lowest rated overall two on that list are Tetê and Emerson (whom RM never really went for, and are still players of huge potential as well, they are not shite at all)

so if RM did buy João Pedro and Antony and Martinelli, they would  have 7 of the top 8 21yo and under Brasilian players (and they did try on Renan Lodi as well, who the ban KILLED us on, as he was my number one youth LB target)

They are trying to corner the Brasilian marketing space (although they will need to grab Neymar to truly do that)

as they also have Casemiro and Marcelo as well and are trying to grab Marquinhos from PSG in some monster Neymar package deal (wild rumours all over)

if somehow they did pull that off, literally the only WC Brasilians they would not have would be the 3 Bindippers (Alisson, Fabinho and Firmino) then Ederson, Coutinho (I sill rate him WC, hell yes, and he was a fool for leaving Victimpool, I would not be shocked if they took him back somehow, Klopp said he is welcome back), and arguably Arthur (jury still out, a wee wee bit but he is probably there) and Alex Sandro

it is crazy

I mean why not? He seems extra at Bayern. They already have Hernandez and Davies. 

Alphonso Davies at LB has been the biggest shock in youth world football, he has been crazy good as a converted LB

I NEVER saw that coming (not even sure if Bayern did)

Bayern has (IMHO) 3 of the top 5 or 6 LB's in the world on their roster, plus the 2nd best RB (Kimmich) and another top 10 RB in Benjamin Pavard

not only is that an insane overflow of talent, but ALL of them also play different positions on a regular basis

they are weak in natural crunching DMF, and have massive winger issues due to injuries, no class CF if Lewa doesn't play, as well as injuries at CB (Hernandez included)

The Sun is reporting Chelsea has made a £200,000 a week offer for Zaha.

so have other sites (not sure if all are just riffing off the Sun, some are not)

it is going to fuck us about possibly with other wage/contract negotiations I fear

we cannot handle a wage load of 12-15 players on £8-10m a year or so (on cumulative average) plus 10 or so more on £4m or 5m per annum average (obviously those numbers are not exact)

we are not Real or Barca or Manure or Shitty, especially as we have SB as a revenue killer and are not a lock every year for CL

In the summer, maybe. In January? Highly doubt it. Hernandez is currently out after a ligament injury to his ankle while Sule is out for the season with an ACL injury and Alaba has been used as a CB cover a lot this season.

I will be the lone Zaha fan club member when he signs. 👍🏼

I actually like Zaha. He is a decent player and I think he would suit our game but if it blocks getting Sancho ... then I'm not a fan of that deal because Sancho would take us to another level.

Bernardo Silva (25yo) is streets ahead of Zaha (and is left-footed so a perfect RWer for us, and can play AMF too)

you also forget a healthy Sane (24yo in a week) 

Martial (24yo) too (and he can play CF as well)

Richarlison (22yo) too (another one who can play CF) is another (being 5 years younger than Zaha as well is a big positive difference as well)

 

I rate Zaha 9th after those 8 (your 4 plus my 4)

My issues are age and price and a career-long lack of production (plenty of players produce decent numbers on shit teams)

plus his wage demands will be super high, we all know this, so a potential changing-room point of trouble with some of our lads in the middle of contractual negotiations

I think all in all he is worth around £50m or so, especially due to age, as we only get 2 full sub 30yo seasons out of him, and as I have tirelessly documented dozens of times, there are so few over 30yo wingers n the EPL (and globally so few who are decent), and almost all in the EPL are shit) There are NO EPL LWers over 27yo except for one, the just turned 30yo dregs that is Junior Stanislas. Let that sink in. At RW, there are only 4 over 30yo (we have 2 and one is soon gone) Aaron Lennon, Pedro (soon gone) Willian and Robert Snodgrass (not a pure winger either), plus two 30yo olds, Theo Walcott  and the just turned 30 Andrii Yarmolenko (who plays MF as well).

£80m plus around £52m in salary (£200K PW for 5 years, £41.6m if a 4 year contract) is madness for a 28yo at 3 months into next season Zaha.

His production at top flight is weak

38 goals in 219 games for top flight teams

basically a goal every 6 games

so 6 or 7 a year

is that worth £132m? especially as he will be basically worthless at the end of his contract

£3.5m PER GOAL based on his cumulative top-flight career production (granted he should score a bit more with us but still you get the point)

I like how much effort and time you put in your posts. BUT it's all bollocks! sorry he might come here and completely blow all that shit u just said out the water, dont for one second am having a pop at u because I am not, no offence you are not scout, I would take a player like zaha in a heartbeat, hes young fast powerful and is a left backs worst nightmare, he may not score goals for fun but fuck my life does the lad create them.

his numbers out on loan are very good. They say he failed at inter milan but only made 9 appearances

They were concerned about his attitude and application when he was there though as well as his lack of performances in Italy and not to mention his loan spell in Portugal.
